Man does that suck.I'd be all over this delivery company.I bet he'll still be alright after 4 days, but probably he's going to be really thirsty, especially if it's gotten really warm during the days.I just hope it didn't get too cold at night on him.I'd just make sure you have a nice toasty home with a nice fresh water waiting for him.I know when I've gotten my bloods usually the first thing they do is go right for the water bowl, so hopefully this guy is ok.Best of luck and keep us posted, will be good to know how this turns out.

Hey,
Man, when I went through that similar thing, I was all over the Fedex people, even so much as snuck into the Fedex building housing my snake. They would've literally have to have me arrested to get me out of there. It was Xmas eve, but I got my snake and that was the end of the s...! Got that, get in there and don't take no for an answer. Find out where that building is and go and get your snake, don't let them tell you that it is out for delivery or some other bull. My snake was out for delivery 3 night in a row, and the guy just kept by passing my house. The dumb s...driver.

Yea really, you need to be calling them raising hell trying to get your snake. Thats what I was trying to tell you before. Usually when your pissed off and sound dangerous they will help you out. Otherwise they could really care less. It shouldnt die of thirst after 4 days but it will be thirsty and I would definately pay extra special attention to it. Hope it all ends up ok, but definately get on the phone and start yelling at someone...
